France Considers Military Option To Destroy Boko Haram

Following its decision not to negotiate with suspected Boko Haram sect who kidnapped a French family in Northern Cameroon recently, indications are rife that the government of President Francois Hollande in France may have opted for a military solution to the issue.

Reports indicate that commandos from the famed French Legion are rehearsing to secure the release of the hostages who have been moved to somewhere in northern Nigeria.
The implications of France's military solution means France may 'invade' Nigeria unless its military incursion/solution to free its citizens has the blessings of Nigeria's military and political leadership.
The French Defence Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian had early this week stated that, "We do not negotiate on that kind of basis, with these kinds of groups," Le Drian told RTL radio. "We will use all (other) possible means to ensure that these and other (French) hostages are freed."??"We do not play this bidding game because that's terrorism," he said, deploring the fact that children were involved.?
The three adults and four children were seized in Cameroon's far north near the Nigerian border last week. In a video posted online on Monday, the gunmen threatened to kill them unless authorities in Nigeria and Cameroon released Muslim militants held there.
The kidnapping brings to 15 the number of French citizens being held in the Nigeria/Cameroon region, with the risk heightened since Paris sent thousands of troops into Mali last month to help the country oust Islamists operating in the north.?
